E-Commerce Week, which runs from 23 to 27 June 2025, aims to encourage 70,000 more British businesses to sell their goods and services through e-commerce around the world, and to support business owners to use e-commerce to grow or start a new business venture.
Alison Ring OBE FCA, ICAEW Director of Public Sector and Taxation, and E-Commerce Trade Commission board member, said:
“Chartered accountants are trusted advisers to business owners, and they have an important role to play as a sounding board for entrepreneurs and as a first port of call for advice, so we are very pleased to support this second E-commerce Week.
“The week will help businesses to put the ‘ease into e-commerce’ by highlighting opportunities for further growth through exporting, and by providing resources and support to enable them to do so.”
